Description

  The present invention relates to a glowing greeting card.

  Greeting cards are widely used as a means of celebrating seasonal events such as Christmas, New Year's greetings, summer greetings, and celebrations such as birth, marriage, admission, and graduation.

  There are various types of such greeting cards, and one of them is a type that emits light. In this type, a dark part was provided on the card to illuminate the background with a light, or light from a light source was emitted from the tip of the optical fiber by passing through the optical fiber.

However, since the former is simple, it has a low impact in terms of product value, and it cannot be denied that the memory of receiving a card has been reduced. The latter has a certain amount of beauty and surprisingness, but there is a problem that the structure is complicated and the cost is high because it is necessary to conceal a bundle of thin optical fibers in a sandwich shape.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a greeting card that is simple and inexpensive, yet novel and unique, and rich in luxury and decoration. There is.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a decorative portion having an opening and imitating a desired shape is provided on the front surface of a card body having a depth, and a light for illuminating the back of the card is disposed on the inner surface of the front surface. Further, a hologram sheet that receives light from the ride is arranged on the back of the card that faces the decorative portion.

According to the present invention, when the light is not turned on, a dark shadow with the outline of the decorative surface is projected on the hologram sheet on the back, and when the viewing angle is changed, the color tone of the iris color from red to blue is affected by the interference of light. Because it appears, it is beautiful.
When the light is turned on (including blinking) and the light beam is incident vertically on the hologram sheet, the optical axis is shifted due to the diffraction and reflection effects of the hologram, and the spot corresponding to the incident position of the light A mysterious and fantastic scene is created by the appearance of a continuous or discontinuous light ball or line that appears in the shape of a light ball. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a high-quality greeting card with a high decorative effect and aesthetic effect.

The hologram sheet is plain with no pattern.
According to this, linear or elliptical light balls running radially in four directions or more are projected around the center light ball by the light irradiation, so that it seems as if fireworks go up and scatter in the night sky. It is possible to create a more romantic and interesting scene that is visible to the audience and matches the celebration theme.

Lights are distributed at multiple locations on the decorative surface, and each is connected to a module built into the decorative surface or other card base, so that it can be flashed sequentially by the operation of a switch at the appropriate location on the card base. It has become.
According to this, since each light scattered in a plurality of places on the decorative surface portion is turned on and off with a time difference, the spot-shaped light balls and a plurality of light balls that run around the light balls are formed on the hologram sheet. It appears one after another in various places. Therefore, a dynamic scene in which fireworks are launched one after another in the night sky can be created, making it even more interesting. In addition, since it is not necessary to use mechanically moving parts, it is possible to avoid an increase in the size and complexity of the structure and to reduce the cost.

The module includes a battery, a relay circuit, a melody IC, and a speaker, and is configured such that the blinking of light and music are performed in parallel.
According to this, sound and light are combined, and it is possible to create a luxurious atmosphere that is luxurious and luxurious.

The card body has a foldable box shape, and partly has a cover piece for maintaining a three-dimensional state.
According to this, it can be sent in an envelope or the like, and is three-dimensionalized in a box shape at the time of use, can maintain a preferable distance between the light and the hologram sheet, and can dynamically launch fireworks one after another in the night sky. The scene can be expressed effectively.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 show an embodiment in which the greeting card of the present invention is applied to a Christmas card. Reference numeral 1 denotes a card body (card base material). It is comprised in the box-shaped body with comparatively low height provided with the front part 1c which ties 1a and the side parts 1b and 1b which stand up from both side edges, and this upper end edge.

  A lid piece 1d having a bend line in the middle as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 is connected to at least one end of the back surface portion 1a. The card body 1 is flattened by tilting the side portions 1b and 1b, and is held in a three-dimensional box shape by inserting the lid piece 1d into the end opening.

The front portion 1c is formed with an opening 10 by leaving a so-called frame portion having a required width for defining a dark place, and a mark 11 such as “Merry Christmas” is printed on the surface portion other than the opening. In addition, the opening 12 is extended with a decorative portion 12 that continuously imitates the contour shape of a fir tree, a church, etc., and the portion separated from this is drawn to the reindeer in the sky. The other decoration part 13 showing a state where Santa Claus is riding on the sledge is projected.
The back portion 1a is provided with a description portion 14 for entering a sender name and a message.

A hologram sheet 2 is attached to the inner surface of the back surface portion 1a, that is, the back surface viewed from the front surface portion 1c, with an adhesive or the like. As the hologram sheet, various known materials such as those obtained by attaching a synthetic resin film such as polyester subjected to hologram processing to the surface of a synthetic resin sheet such as polyester can be used, but metal powder or the like is deposited on the surface. It may be in the form of a half mirror.
In this example, the hologram sheet 2 is of a type that exhibits an unpatterned smooth state and appears colored in iris colors from red to blue in the viewing direction due to the interference of light.

On the other hand, a plurality of small lights, for example, LED lamps 3, are attached to the inner surfaces of the decorative portions 12 and 13 at a predetermined position facing the hologram sheet 2, preferably at the protruding tip region, at predetermined intervals. . In this example, a total of four pieces are arranged in each fir tree portion of the decoration portion 12 and the roof portion of the association, and one piece is arranged in a portion near the tip of the other decoration portion 13.
The lights 3 may all be one color, but preferably two or more colors that emit light in, for example, red, green, orange, and blue are used.

The respective lead wires 30 of the respective lights 3 are led along the inner surface of the front surface portion 1c, led to the module mounting portion 1e formed by folding the extension portion of the front surface portion 1c so as to overlap the inner surface, and are adhered to the inside thereof. Connected to the module 4.
The module 4 includes a control IC 4b including several small batteries 4a on a printed circuit board 40, a relay that operates with electric power from now on and blinks the lights 3 in a predetermined order, and a timer that supplies power at the end of the song. And a melody IC4c that records a desired sound (for example, a song related to Christmas) and outputs a sound signal in synchronization with the blinking of the light. The sound from the melody IC4c is enlarged in the vicinity. A speaker 4d is provided. A switch 4e such as a thin push button type is disposed at an arbitrary position on the front surface portion 1c, and a conductive wire thereof is connected to the printed board 40.

  Since the hologram sheet 2 has a mirror function, if the conducting wire 30 of the light 3 is exposed, the wiring is projected on the hologram sheet 2 and is visually recognized. Therefore, a concealing portion 15 joined to the inner surface of the front surface portion 1c is connected to the module mounting portion 1e so as to cover the conductive wire 30 to the vicinity of the tip.

Explaining the operation of the embodiment, the card body 1 is flat when it is sent by mail or the like. When the recipient enjoys the card, the lid piece 1d is folded and inserted into the opening. If it carries out like this, the card | curd main body 1 will become rigid in a box shape, and will become like FIG.
In this state, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a space is formed with a distance between the front surface portion 1c and the hologram sheet 2, and the space has a limited area in which the opening 10 of the front surface portion 1c is limited. As the opening is closed by the lid piece 1d, a dark state is exhibited.

When the inside of the opening 10 is viewed from the front in this state, as shown in FIG. 6, the shadow of the decorative portion 12 is reflected on the hologram sheet 2 as a blackish shadow B in this example, such as a fir tree, a church, and the like above the viewer. When there is illumination light, the light passes through the aperture and is applied to the hologram sheet 2 and reflected, so that a beautiful iris A of the three primary colors can be seen depending on the viewing direction.
When the switch 4e is operated in this state, a sound such as Christmas music is emitted from the card by the melody IC 4c and the speaker 4d by the power supply from the battery 4a, and at the same time, the light 3 blinks in a predetermined order.

FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7C show the state at this time. In this example, first, the light 3-1 on the church roof of the decoration portion 12 is turned on and the light of the light 3-1 is emitted. Is irradiated onto the hologram sheet 2, due to the diffraction and reflection action of the hologram sheet 2, the ball light C of the color corresponding to the light 3-1 and the light C ′ running slightly longer at the position surrounding it are projected. The next moment it disappears, and then the fir tree light 3-2 is turned on and blinking and irradiated to the hologram sheet 2, so that the ball light C is slightly different from the above and the ball surrounding it is slightly longer. Radiating light C ′ is projected. Further, the light beam 3-3 of the decorative portion 13 similarly displays the ball light C and the light C ′ that runs in a slightly longer radial manner at a position surrounding it.
Therefore, a dynamic scene can be created where the celebratory fireworks are launched in various places including the church as well as the music celebrating Christmas.

Various hologram sheets 2 can be used. For example, when a hologram sheet 2 having a texture or similar pattern as shown in FIG. 8A is used, the color corresponding to the light 3 is used. The light C ′ and the light C ′ surrounding the ring C can be expressed. Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the hologram sheet 2 having an annular radial pattern is used, the ball light C of the color corresponding to the light 3 and the jagged light C ′ surrounding this in an annular shape. Can be expressed.
Further, the hologram sheet 2 may be an image of a desired figure or pattern such as a Christmas bell, Santa Claus, heart, character, etc., and according to this, it appears and disappears depending on the viewing angle, the iris changes, and It is possible to enjoy the positional change between the ball light C and the radial or annular light C ′ surrounding it.
